CHOPPED HOT PEPPERS IN OIL 100g & 540g
Distinctly spicy, Calvi chilli peppers are not dried but retained fresh, chopped and placed in good olive oil. Excellent for flavouring sauces, and for the preparation of spaghetti with garlic, oil and chilli. Great used as it is and in small doses on pizza, on bruschetta, added as a condiment on pasta, salads and meat dishes. Perfect for those who love strong flavours.
BASIL PESTO GENOVESE DOP 180g
Pesto is the typical sauce, originating from Genoa, that people throughout Liguria (Italy) use to dress pasta. Traditionally potatoes and string beans are added to the dish, boiled together with the pasta. However, it can be used in a variety of equally delicious ways in the kitchen, such as on pizza, in a dip for crudites and in dressings for vegetables to name a few. The name pesto comes from the Genoese word pestà meaning to pound or grind referring to the process of crushing the basil, pine nuts and garlic, traditionally in a pestle and mortar. The secret of our Pesto is in the high percentage of pine nuts and the quality of basil: only Genoese Basil P.D.O. grown in open-air fields under the Ligurian sunshine.
EXTRA VIRGIN TRUFFLE OIL 250ml
The Calvi Extra Virgin Olive Oil flavoured with White Truffle has a strong and unmistakeable smell of truffles. Just a few drops of this delicious condiment is enough to enrich any dish.
Perfect on rice, noodles, ravioli, and fish or meat main courses.
More simply, it can be used as a dressing on salads, scrambled eggs and toasted bread. A cork pourer is attached to the bottle in a transparent bag.
